Hello, everyone!  Just here to find out what this text says on this screen divider.

I actually thought I wouldn't have too much trouble looking this one up myself, but even though the characters (except for the bottom two) are fairly clear, I had one Hell of a time attempting to look it up.  Was using online dictionaries to search by radical and couldn't find anything.  Perhaps I'd have had an easier time if these characters were in simple Chinese, but I have a feeling this is traditional.  I could be wrong, though.  Man...really thought I could do this one, haha!

Thank you everyone in advance!

 

Sincerely

I'll go with the first, third and fourth as 荷 and 精趣.

 

Is it possible the radical on the second is actually 王, with the first stroke having somehow flaked off? If so, you could consider 琱, a variant of 雕.

 

Not that this makes all that much sense to me.

I'll try to do some more research into your suggestions in the morning. Maybe I'll be able to find something!

Anyone else want a crack at it?

After searching for over an hour and a half, I finally think I found what I was looking for.  

 

荷塘清趣 - "Tranquil Delights of the Lotus Pond"

I had to look up variants of the 2nd and 3rd characters until I finally found something.  Once I switched them up, I got TONS of Google image results back depicting similar scenes that are on the divider I originally posted the calligraphy from.

Thank you very much for your help, 889!
